The unique experience of a flight attendant later became a teacher at a special school, Montessori School.


Ms. Nunik Rahayu, a former flight attendant from Surabaya, has transformed into an experienced educator in Australia.

Currently, she works as a teacher's assistant at Montessori School and is active in performing arts activities.

What is Montessori School?

A Montessori school is a private school that uses an educational method that is based on self-directed activities, hands-on learning, and collaborative play.

In Montessori classes, children make creative choices in their learning, while highly trained classes and teachers offer age-appropriate activities to guide the process.

Despite this, the school remains on the Australian national curriculum.
